Kache Kela aur Gajar Kofta Kadhi

Kache Kela aur Gajar Kofta Kadhi step by step instructions:

Kadhis taste wonderful plain also, but if we add some koftas into it then the taste of the kadhi is enhanced a lot.
In my previous post, I wrote about how to make "Kache kela aur Gajar Kofta". Today I will be showing you how to make kofta kadhi.
Grated carrot and boiled raw banana are used to make the kofta. To make it healthy I have cooked the koftas in appam pan with very little oil.
If you want the koftas to be intact then add them to the kadhi just before serving else you can add them before also and enjoy soft and mushy koftas.

Let us start cooking!!!

Tips:
1. I did not add chili to the koftas. You can add as per your taste.
2. Be careful while preparing the tadka. Take the pan off the flame and then add the masalas. This helps in preventing the burning of the masalas.
3. Always stir the kadhi continuously until a boil comes otherwise whey gets separated in the kadhi.
